FIELD OF INVENTION

The embodiments herein relate to operational data analysis and, more particularly to automate operational data analysis and generate the analysis report for various products using a web-based multi-tenant product intelligence framework.

BACKGROUND

In the current scenario, business data volume from various industries is exceeding the limit to perform data analysis on a platform. Additionally, the type of data formats and the data types supported by various products or applications are increasing drastically. As the number of data sources or data storage mechanism increases, the number of data types and data formats supported also increases. With this scenario, it is challenging for industries to provide platform independent, faster, reliable, and accurate data analysis mechanism and implement product intelligence within a framework that can directly impact the business decisions.

In one of the existing system and method, an analytical platform is supported for analyzing both traditional relational data and new generation extensible data formats which is based on XML, HTML, E-mail, Excel, PDF, and others. Further, the system supports data acquisition using a pre-defined schema by using an XML or an HTML file. Additionally, the system provides intelligence to capture the relationship between existing tables. However, the system and method does not support an interface to configure the product intelligence framework and collaborate with the data acquired from various sources for further processing. Also, the current system and method does not support schema creation (during run-time) by uploading a sample schema file or while connecting to the data source for data collection.

In another existing system and method, a web-based multi-tenant database is used in the design of the product intelligence framework that can collect data from multiple sources. Additionally, the framework captures the relationship between the tables provided for product analysis and provides user-specific lexicography for data mapping. However, the system and method does not support multi-structured data (relational and non-relational) collection and collaboration, and does not support schema creation during data collection. In another existing system and method, the data analysis is performed based on specific rules and activities configured in a framework. The framework collects data from multiple sources and a relationship is established between the tables. However, the existing system and method does not provide a web-based multi-tenant interface for the user to configure the framework. Also, the system and method does not support data formatting using various customized logic in sequence. The data analysis is done based on the requirement and does not allow the users to configure the data analysis during a system run-time.

In another existing system and method, an automated data abstraction generation is performed using a schema created by using an XML or an SQL file. The system enables users to collect data from multiple sources and collaborate with multi-structured data for analysis. Additionally, the system posses the intelligence to capture relationship between tables. However, the system does not provide a web-based multi-tenant framework for users to manage the system. The system performs data abstraction generation based on the requirement and does not allow users to configure data abstraction during run-time.

FIG. 3 illustrates block diagram that shows components of the data acquisition module and data storage module along with the schema designer 303 for defining data format, according to embodiments as disclosed herein. As depicted in the figure, the data acquisition module 102 implements a data acquisition process. The data acquisition process collects data from the source by consuming either exposed external URI 302 or by exposing the tool self-service portal (SSP) service 304 for data extraction. The external service 302 includes but not limited to a Device Hosted Service 302.a, an FTP service 302.b, or a CLOUD service 302.c, and the SSP service 304 includes but not limited to Data Publishing Service 304.a, Web Crawler 304.b, or a data collector 304.c. Further, the data to be collected is defined using a schema defined by providing a sample structure file or by connecting to the data source directly. User can select/define the fields for which the data is to be collected from the list of fields available. Further, the data transfer happens in accordance with the schema.

In an embodiment, the Device Hosted Service 302.a collects raw data by consuming source exposed end points from the source Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) location. The data collected from the source, which is defined by the schema, is uploaded in the data warehouse by using the service and as per the schedule designed by the Job Scheduler 201.

In an embodiment, the FTP service accesses the URI and uploads large amount of data from the location, and stores the data in the data warehouse as per the required format. The FTP service is scheduled by the Job scheduler and the tasks are performed as per the schedule.

In an embodiment, the CLOUD service collects data from cloud storage. The storage account is verified and authenticated before accessing data from the cloud storage. In an embodiment, the SSP service provides the user an option to collect data for data processing by selecting at least one of the SSP service, such as a Data Publishing Service (DPS), a Web crawler, a DB Data collector or the like. The DPS service specifies the Uniform Resource Locator (URL) where the user can dump the data to be collected, the Web crawler is used to specify the URL to be crawled to a defined level, to collect the data from URL page source, and the DB Data collector is used to specify the database connecting string with a table name or a store procedure from where data is to be collected. In addition, the user can select the External services for collecting the data from the data source by consuming source end points. For example, the External services include but not limited to an FTP service, a CLOUD service, or a Device Hosted service.

In an embodiment, the DPS service specifies the URL where the user can dump the data to be collected. Further the service uploads the data in the configured data warehouse (as defined by the schema designer 303) as defined by the schema as per the schedule configured in the job scheduler 201.

In an embodiment, the DB Data Collector is used to collect data when the data source is a database such as an SQL Server, My SQL and/or Oracle. The data is extracted from the data source by using an appropriate database connection and authentication.

In an embodiment, the Web crawler searches for a specific text pattern as defined according to rules in rule.xml file by crawling in the URL provided by the user to a defined level, and collect the data as defined according to rules in rule.xml. The extracted data is stored in the data warehouse as defined by the schema.

The schema designer 303 is used for defining data, and various services are used to collect data from the source and upload the data into a data warehouse as defined by the schema.

The collected data is stored in the data warehouse according to a schema defined by the product schema designer 303 module. The schema designer 303 supports a schema in a delimited sample data file available in any of the following formats: Extensible Markup Language (XML), Java Script Object Notation (JSON), Comma-Separated-Values (CSV), or TXT format. The schema supports data collection and storage in both Hierarchical and Non-Hierarchical representation.

In an embodiment, the data warehouse for storing data includes but not limited to Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS), Windows Azure Storage, CLOUD or it can be a traditional data store like Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle or MySQL. Further, the raw data i.e. data collected from the source is transmitted to the data warehouse using storage drivers.

As depicted in the FIG. 400, the web-based management portal authenticates a user-account before allowing the user to configure and perform the ODA analysis within the framework. After authenticating (401) and validating the user-account, a system administrator configures (402) the PI metadata database and the data warehouse (HDFS, SQL Server, MySql, Oracle, Cloud). The system administrator creates a namespace and a user for the namespace on a system server. The user logs into the system using the namespace and creates a product within the namespace for processing the stored data.

Further, the user can select (403) the data warehouse for storing the data. For example, the data warehouse can be configured to store data on a Hadoop platform, CLOUD storage, local data storage, or the like. In an embodiment, a namespace is an abstract container or environment created for an enterprise to support multi tenancy in the system. The namespace holds a logical grouping of unique identifiers or symbols (names) called a product. An identifier defined in a namespace is associated only with that namespace.

Further, the framework allows the user to configure (404) the data acquisition mechanism for collecting data from the source either by using an external service or an SSP service. The external service 302 includes but not limited to a Device Hosted Service 302.a, an FTP service 302.b, or a CLOUD service 302.c, and the SSP service 304 includes but not limited to Data Publishing Service 304.a, Web Crawler 304.b, or a data collector 304.c. A Namespace is created for an enterprise, with number of products existing for a single Namespace. After creating (405) the Namespace for the enterprise, ODA is to be performed on each of the products existing in the Namespace, schema is created for the product by specifying the data types and attributes in a delimiter file supported in XML/JSON/CSV/TXT format or by connecting to the data source through the FTP service, the Device Hosted Service, the CLOUD service, or the DB Collector service. Further, the framework provides an option to select (406) the storage from a list of configured data warehouse. After selecting the storage, users will be provided with an option to select (407) an already existing data formatting algorithm, (for example: Map/Reduce algorithm) or to create a new data formatting algorithm to format the data. In the next step, the framework provides an option for the user to select (408) an existing data mining algorithm (that includes but not limited to Pegasus, Query Builder, Report designer) or create a new data mining algorithm. Further, the Job scheduler 201 is scheduled (409) to perform all the tasks configured in the framework. Finally, the framework generates (410) report based on the ODA analysis. The various actions in method 400 may be performed in the order presented. Further, in some embodiments, some actions listed in FIG. 4 may be omitted.
